Sunrise Police are seeking the public's help to find a woman who's been missing since May 31.

Lisa Elaine Benedict, 51, was last seen at 2955 Northwest 126 Avenue in Sunrise. Benedict last spoke to her daughter by phone Saturday evening at which time Benedict said she was "seeing things" and "hearing voices," police said.

It was learned later that Benedict had left her home and that her black 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a Florida license plate of P995YS also was missing.

She has no cell phone with her so police are unable to track her whereabouts through cell towers. Benedict has a known history of delusional behavior and may be a threat to herself, police said.

Investigators are urging anyone with information about Benedict to contact Sunrise Police at 954-746-3600 or Detective J. Zinn at 954-746-3563.
